That's right boys and girls, XW now allows you to search for topics using a given topic icon. I know what some of you are thinking: we're not the first to have this. Old news. etc etc etc. You're absolutely right. There are some other sites using a search by topic icon. Guess what? I wrote it for some of those sites! But, I never got to finish on those, so they were more or less betas, actually, more like pre-beta. This one, however, I am completely comfortable calling a beta. This search works better and will handle the search cache better. A few key differences between XW's topic icon search and others:
-Accurate result count is displayed! Other sites will show you how many results there are for all posts, not just for the posts that are displayed with the icon.
-Accurate results! Other sites show you the first page of accurate results, but click to the next page and guess what? Bad results! You'll see the page of results as if you didn't use a topic icon. Here at XW, you get correct results for every single page of results available.
-Better cache results! If two people search for the same thing with different icons, you'll get different results. It doesn't matter if it's 2 seconds apart or two hours apart. Other sites cache interferes with proper results and users can receive incorrect results, but not here at XW!
-Search multiple hosts! Actually, just kidding. But I can assure you that selecting multiple icons will be implemented soon.
Enjoy it guys. It's just one more new feature to help make your time on XW better!
thx for this
